    MR. BOLTING - M. Mid thirties to mid forties. A very wealthy man. Sly, bombastic, and
    menacing.

    pedantic and occasionally condescending.

    TAVIA - F. Mid twenties to early thirties. A bartender at Birds of Paradise. World-wary and
    self-assured.

    DARTER - M. Late twenties to late thirties. Diane’s husband, and a dockworker. Mellow.

    DANIO - M. Late twenties to late thirties. Rosa’s boyfriend, and a dockworker. Belligerent.
